A Maternity Photographer’s Perspective on Mt. Tam

Imagine this: You’re ascending Mt. Tam with your maternity photographer, each step bringing you closer to the clouds. Suddenly, you emerge above a sea of mist.

As a maternity photographer specializing in outdoor sessions, I’ve seen firsthand how Mt. Tam can elevate a photoshoot from beautiful to breathtaking. Its diverse landscapes, from lush forests to sweeping vistas, provide a stunning canvas for any maternity photographer to work their magic.

A highlight of their shoot was the drone photography. As a maternity photographer, I always try to offer unique perspectives, and thanks to our skilled drone operator, Jerred, we captured stunning aerial shots that showcase the magnificent landscape surrounding the expectant couple.

Pro Tips from a Maternity Photographer for Your Mt. Tam Session

As an experienced maternity photographer, here are my top tips for making the most of your Mt. Tam session:

Location scouting: A good maternity photographer will help you choose the perfect spots on Mt. Tam that align with your style and comfort level.

Timing is everything: As a maternity photographer, I typically schedule Mt. Tam sessions during the golden hour – just before sunset. This often provides the opportunity to photograph above the fog, creating a magical setting.

Dress for success and comfort: Wear something that makes you feel amazing and allows for easy movement. As a maternity photographer, I’ve found that flowy dresses often work beautifully in this setting.

Embrace the elements: Mt. Tam’s weather can be unpredictable, but a skilled maternity photographer can use this to create stunning effects, like using a gentle breeze to add movement to your photos.

Take your time: A good maternity photographer knows that the session is about more than just the photos – it’s an experience. We’ll take breaks as needed to ensure you’re comfortable and enjoying every moment.

From Engagement to Maternity: A Photographer’s Journey with Couples

As a photographer who specializes in life’s milestones, I’ve had the joy of documenting many couples’ journeys. For Vinuta and Kalyan, this journey began with their engagement session at Baker Beach in 2015. Now, years later, I’m their maternity photographer as they prepare to welcome their little one.

This continuity allows couples to see how their love story unfolds visually. From the excitement of engagement to the glow of pregnancy, each session becomes a chapter in their unique story. As a maternity photographer, I believe your love story deserves the same beautiful narrative.

Years from now, when your little one is all grown up, you’ll look back at these maternity photos and remember this beautiful time of anticipation and love. A skilled maternity photographer can create images that show not just how you looked, but the joy, excitement, and deep connection you shared as you prepared to welcome your child.
